League Play-Off

Stade Tour
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Martial Louche stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Billy Senecal's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. If Renaud Dubuisson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet as Christophe Jean-Marie kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Jordan Bouchereau. That made the score 1-0 in the 23 minute of play. After a rather tough play, Tour's Tommy Chivot got a free kick in the 26th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Axel Fradin in the 28th minute of play forced Tour's goalkeeper Martial Louche to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 41st minute the ball was on its way in behind Manom's goalkeeper Jordan Bouchereau, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 44th minute of the match, Renaud Dubuisson got a very nice opportunity to score, but Jordan Bouchereau was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. A collision led to Manom getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Norbert Sauve hit a great ball. In the 47th minute, Christophe Jean-Marie fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Jordan Bouchereau, passed just outside the right post. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Christophe Jean-Marie was the one to do the kick off. Billy Senecal in the 56thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Martial Louche, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. 58 minutes into the match, Manom's Axel Fradin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Martial Louche narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Martial Louche showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Axel Fradin in the 59th minute of the match. Renaud Dubuisson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 73rd minute. Jordan Bouchereau tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Billy Senecal blasted a shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Martial Louche having to make a save. Norbert Sauve's late challenge caught a Tour's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Norbert Sauve helped the player get up and apologised. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
